Synopsis
The Last Agent is a short sci-fi/fantasy film about a struggling artist who finds inspiration in a mysterious alien agent whose motives end up being more sinister than she thought.
Lex is behind on her deadlines and facing eviction when Dahlia falls out of the sky and lands in Lake Michigan one peaceful morning. The two form an unlikely friendship when Dahlia learns Lex is an artist, and the two spend the day enjoying the simple pleasures of being human, Dahlia navigating the world in a human-like body for the first time. But Dahlia’s admiration of artists is revealed to be darkly sinister when she expresses her plans to kidnap them and take them back to her home planet, where their species is incapable of artistic expression.
